"The old folks are waiting for you to come home. No matter what, you have to let them see you, right?" Zheng Xianyong advised from the side.
With everyone's encouragement, Sheng Liancheng finally recovered. After thanking Zheng Xianyong, the family hurriedly went home.
Upon arriving home, Zhang Shuzhen quickly packed her things, while Sheng Xiping hurriedly went to find Liu Yuhe, Wang Jianshe, and others.
Wang Jianshe and his family have already discussed it and agreed that they will ask the forestry station for a few months' leave.
If things go well over there, we'll try to get them a leave of absence without pay back home.
If you don't adapt well to the place, just treat it as a trip to broaden your horizons, and come back after a while.
Sheng Xiping called Liu Yuhe, Wang Jianshe, Chen Weiguo, and the other two together to make arrangements for things after the New Year.
"Second brother, I have to accompany our parents back to our hometown in Shandong. The exact duration is uncertain."
The company's affairs will have to be entrusted to you and Yuqing.
In a couple of days, you take Weiguo, Jianshe, and the others from your village to collect the timber that the various forestry bureaus owe us before the new year and send it away.
The shipping label is here; please make sure you hold onto it carefully and don't make a mistake.
"After Mu Tou leaves, you guys go to the provincial capital again. Brother Ruiqing has arranged another batch of corn for us."
"It's perfect that you're heading south with the corn; you can deliver it to the feed mill and settle the accounts there."
Originally, Sheng Xiping planned to expand his business after the New Year and move some other things to the south.
But with things happening back home, I can't worry about that for now. I can only make arrangements for these two things first, and deal with the rest later.
"Okay, don't worry about these things. Weiguo, Jianshe, and I are old acquaintances. We'll definitely handle things properly."
When you accompany my uncle and aunt back to their hometown, please be careful on the road and take good care of them.
If your grandfather really doesn't pass away, you can stay and help with the funeral arrangements. Don't rush back to the company; Yu Cheng and I will handle everything.
Liu Yuhe nodded in agreement, while also reassuring Sheng Xiping.
“Okay, I know all that. I’ll tell Yu Cheng later and have him go to the company to oversee things ahead of time.”
The situation was sudden, and it happened during the Chinese New Year period, so this was the only arrangement we could make.
All the company matters were arranged, and Sheng Liancheng and Zhang Shuzhen had also tidied up the house.
The family entrusted their household affairs to the neighbors, asking them to help with things like cooking, feeding the dogs and chickens, etc. Fortunately, both pigs were slaughtered before the Lunar New Year, which relieved them of a worry.
This year, the Lunar New Year was late and school started early after the holiday. Sheng Xi'an, Sheng Yunfang, and Sheng Yunfei could have stayed at home for a few more days, but since there was no need to delay, they decided to set off together.
So, on the morning of the seventh day of the first lunar month, Zheng Xianyong arranged a car to take Sheng Xiping and the others to Songjiang River.
Before setting off, Sheng Xiping called Zhou Mingyuan, so after they arrived in Songjianghe, Zhou Mingyuan arranged for a car to pick them up and take them directly to the main train station.
Zhou Mingyuan and his wife, along with the three Zhou siblings, were all waiting at the train station.
Upon seeing Sheng Liancheng and his group, Zhou Mingyuan stepped forward and shook Sheng Liancheng's hand.
"My dear in-law, at our age, we need to let go of some things."
You're better off than me. Your parents are still alive. If you go back as soon as possible, you can still be filial to them.
Even if something does happen, brother, please hang in there. You have children and grandchildren to care for, so don't be too heartbroken and worry your family.
Sheng Liancheng grasped Zhou Mingyuan's hand and sighed, "My dear in-law, thank you so much. Sigh, I always cause you trouble."
Over there, Wang Chunxiu handed Zhang Shuzhen a package of things, all for food and supplies on the road.
Zhou Qinglan also gave Sheng Xiping some instructions, telling him to take good care of his parents on the way and to stay in his hometown for as long as possible.
“You don’t need to worry about things at home. I’ve already discussed it with Xinhua and Xinyu. He will transfer to No. 1 Primary School, and Xinyu will go to preschool.”
The two little rascals didn't want to get down at first, but Zhou Qinglan had to persuade them a lot before they finally agreed.
